The erg is great... however, I invoked sod's law the other day when I remarked to my wife about how my trainers were about a decade old and still going strong. Cue a piece of plastic getting bent and sticking in my heel over and over again (well, every stroke). I now have a painful gash in my heel!

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
Funny you say that, I looked at the photo in my C2 ranking profile which looks like it's from a local race in 2004. I'm still using the same rowing shoes nowmax_ratcliffe wrote: ↑April 15th, 2020, 8:40 amThe erg is great... however, I invoked sod's law the other day when I remarked to my wife about how my trainers were about a decade old and still going strong.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
10km PB .... planned it, warmed up, executed it . This was a PB by 8s and my first at 10km since dropping to LWT. Left a bit to do in the last 2km but went full on attack and was seeing 1:40s at the end. It was tough but glad I got it done!
Would love to go sub 38 but that's for another day.

Re: New Personal Best! Brag About That New Pb!
I knew if I didn't check this for a few days there would be another Martin PB! Great work - looks painful but joyous in the end.
And great work too Alex on the 10k PB.
I'm going to have to up my game and go for at least one new PB before end of this season. I'm thinking maybe 2k and 5k but we'll see.

Based on your signature time for 60' and this 10k, if you wanted to have another go at the hour I reckon 15200 should be on at least
